A misty bathhouse.

The bath made of green wood occupies half of the bathhouse, and the green hot water flows from the [faucet] on the left wall, and the tavern keeper said that this water is a spring water with [elixir], which has the effect of relieving fatigue and relieving the mind.

Although Qin Xiaotong didn't feel the slightest [spiritual power] in this water at this time.

The sound of clear water and the sound of a few little girls playing are particularly cheerful.

Qin Xiaotong soaked in the far corner of the bath, but the afterglow of the perspective was always on Xingnuo next to him.

She subconsciously compared the gap between herself and Xingnuo......

Well, except for being a little smaller......

"Sister Xiaotong, where are we going next?" Su Xiaoxiao came over.

Qin Xiaotong silently looked at Su Xiaoxiao's figure.

Same height, but ......

Qin Xiaotong stood up from the water suddenly, and the whole person came to Su Xiaoxiao, staring at her eyes tightly.

Su Xiaoxiao was obviously frightened, took a few steps back, and almost fell into the bath all at once.

"Xiaoxiao, how old are you?" Qin Xiaotong asked expressionlessly.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, "Ten, twelve-year-old ......"

"......" Qin Xiaotong took a deep breath and silently glanced at his figure.

"I don't know where I'm going, I'm going to ask your teacher. After finishing speaking, Qin Xiaotong left as if he had fled.

Su Xiaoxiao looked dazed, she always felt that Sister Xiaotong, who had been gentle just now, seemed to have a strong grudge against her.

Xu Ruo on the side nodded as if she understood something, she had calmed down in the shadow space for so long, perhaps because of her age and experience, she recovered quickly, as if she had never experienced that desperate day without a sky.

"It's hard to figure out a woman's mind. Xu Ruo chuckled. "But you're still young, but you're not small, and you're really envied. ”

Su Xiaoxiao understood what it was, her little face turned red, and she hurriedly squatted down and hid her white body in the green hot water.

——

——

Su Qiran slowly swayed back to the tavern, he had already heard enough news.

He had some vague concern.

Half of the Cloud Empire has fallen, and it is said that there is still a hard tug-of-war around the [Church of St. Valan], the twelve [territories] of the Federation close to the Eternal Forest have fallen into ruins, and the three strongest territories of the Federation are still struggling to pull up the coalition forces......

The physique of the Federation is actually very chaotic, but when it comes to the origin of the Federation, it has a lot to do with the Xingzhu Empire.

Fifty years ago, the Xingzhu Emperor who took office was an out-and-out [faint monarch], who was extravagant and ignorant of the government, which eventually caused some people to [revolt], and the "rebels" relied on the people's will to capture half of the western territory at that time. After repeated defeats in the counterinsurgency army, the royal family finally had to depose the faint monarch on its own.

After a period of panic, the previous Xingzhu Emperor took office, and the talented emperor stabilized the chaotic situation in a short period of time, and even began to gradually arrange preparations to destroy the rebels in one go......

It's a pity that it didn't take long for the Holy Beast King [Heavenly Phoenix] to cause the [Void Rebellion], and millions of bird-like demonic beasts set off a crazy beast tide within the Star Bamboo Empire!

Because the sky is a weak domain for human beings, the entire Xingzhu Empire was crippled that time, although in the end, with the assistance of the Starry Sky Sword God, the Holy Beast King Tianhuang was suppressed and the Sky Rebellion was resolved, but the military strength of the Xingzhu Empire was greatly damaged.

At that time, the leader of the rebel army was also a smart person, he knew very well that even if the military strength of the Xingzhu Empire was greatly damaged, it would be almost impossible for their army to defeat the entire empire in one go, and when the Xingzhu Empire recovered from the impact of the disaster, it would be difficult for them to make any more waves.

Therefore, the leader of the rebel army at that time reached a [reconciliation agreement] with the previous Xingzhu Emperor.

The rebels returned half of the territory they had occupied, and the Xingzhu Empire could no longer wage war against the rebels for thirty years......

After the agreement was reached, the rebel leaders attacked further west with the rebel forces, which were relatively strong at the time......

At that time, the West was the "Land of a Hundred Nations", and more than 100 large and small countries occupied the West of the continent, and some countries even had a population of less than 10,000...... War is the main theme of that region, every day new countries are born, and every day countries are swallowed up by the beast of war.

At that time, after the rebels entered the land of the hundred countries in the west, they grew at an unimaginable speed, fed the war with war, and were invincible!

In just ten years, the rebels have incorporated all the lands of the Hundred Kingdoms into their territory......

The previous Xingzhu Emperor never dreamed that a rebel who was not careful, and who once seemed destined to let go of a horse if he couldn't become a climate, would actually grow into a behemoth!

Moreover, the rebels' brave and warlike army can almost sweep away the military of the Star Bamboo Empire that has not yet fully recovered.

However, the good times did not last long, as the rebel leader died young because of a dark wound left by his perennial battle on the battlefield, and the rebel leader was very cold, and he had not yet decided who the heir was......

So a struggle for power began.

Another decade, the behemoth that once made the Xingzhu Empire even frightened, fell apart in the struggle for power.

Dozens of self-proclaimed lords in power divided the country that the rebel leader Rong Ma had unified throughout his life into dozens of large and small territories......

Although those lords also formed a self-proclaimed [Federation] administration in order to unify with the outside world, the power in the hands of the [Federation] is not comparable to that of the local lords.

Power has been widely dispersed, and as a result, orders are not carried out, and the Federation is a mere institution in name only.

It's just that Su Qiran didn't expect that in the face of such a terrifying external disaster, those lords had not yet unified the battle line to form a coalition, you must know that it was impossible for any territory of the Federation to block this terrifying tide of undead, so they had to wait for the enemy to break through one by one?

Judging from the current situation on the main road, the Xingzhu Empire's losses are the least......

"What do you think?"

Suddenly there was someone around. It has a faint fragrance that penetrates into the nose and smells good.

"Kiri-chan. Su Qiran suddenly stopped, turned his head and stared at Qin Xiaotong beside him.

"Huh?" Qin Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, and then stopped.

"Do you think the Sage is right?"

Qin Xiaotong's mind recalled his experience in the Eternal Forest again, and his face couldn't help but become a little heavier.

"I don't know. ”

"I don't agree with him. Su Qiran said softly, unspeakably serious. "I'm going to stop him. ”

"What are you going to do?" Qin Xiaotong glanced sideways slightly.

"I don't know. Su Qiran shook his head lightly, "But I'm going to go to the Federation, I have to break through my own bottleneck first." ”

"Do you have faith?"

"Nope. ”

“......”

"In the past, I always regarded the ideal of the Sage [Salvation] as my own ideal. ”

"This time I want to do what I have in mind. ”

“...... I'm sticking with you. ”
